It is not that Arvinder ji has requested this song loong back. His request is fairly recent. But he has been so consistently persistent that he has been reminding me at least twice a day (somedays even more than twice) to post this song. A song that has been in the memory for oh so long. But he could not find it anywhere on the internet and YouTube. When he checked with me a few days ago, I confirmed to him that yes, I have it. Then last week, it so happened that he was riding with me in my car, and I had the very CD in the player, that contains this song. When the song played, wow, the excitement on his face was something that has to be seen to be believed.
And so his persistence with reminders became even more acute. I could have given him the song on a pen drive or a CD. But for him, the primary listening mode is his own playlist on YouTube, which he accesses from his smartphone, and listens to his favorites, whenever and wherever. And so his continuous demand that this song be uploaded on the YouTube. [As he tells me, he does not know how to use a PC. And so. . .]
Of course, besides and inspite of the consistent persistent pestering, I have to thank Arvinder ji for bringing back to memory one of those memorable songs that we heard the radio. The lilting and catchy tune of this song made me immediately sit up, when I pulled it out and heard it after Arvinder ji reminded me. What a wonderful melody this one is.
The film is ‘Bekhabar’ from 1965. Words are from the pen of Raja Mehdi Ali Khan. Music comes from the mind of S Mohinder, and the singing voice is that of Suman Kalyanpur. Goodness, this song is waiting to be found. . . no, this song should not have been waiting to be found.
Ah but, enough said. Click the play button and listen to this charming quick paced folk style. And enjoy.

खड़ी थी बगिया में हैरान
के आ गए सैंय्यां बेईमान
कुछ ऐसा कस के मारा बान
के मीठी मीठी
ओ मीठी मीठी करेजवा में पीर होय रे
मीठी मीठी करेजवा में पीर होय रे हम तो जानें दीवानी तू काहे को रोये रे
ओ मीठी मीठी करेजवा में पीर होय रे
शरम सैंय्यां से मोहे लागि
हाए॰ ॰ ॰
शरम सैंय्यां से मोहे लागि
छुड़ा के हाथ वहाँ से भागी
मैं बिरहन सारी रैना जागी
के मीठी मीठी
ओ मीठी मीठी करेजवा में पीर होय रे हम तो जानें दीवानी तू काहे को रोये रे
ओ मीठी मीठी करेजवा में पीर होय रे
सुबह सैंय्यां आए घबरई के
हाए॰ ॰ ॰
सुबह सैंय्यां आए घबरई के
तबीयत पूछन लागे अई के
तो मैं बोली घूँघट सरकइ के
के मीठी मीठी
ओ मीठी मीठी करेजवा में पीर होय रे हम तो जानें दीवानी तू काहे को रोये रे
ओ मीठी मीठी करेजवा में पीर होय रे
पिया बोले नदिया ले जाऊँ
हाए॰ ॰ ॰
पिया बोले नदिया ले जाऊँ
मैं तेरा कंचन जी बहलाऊँ
मैं बोली ऊई मैं कैसे जाऊँ
के मीठी मीठी
ओ मीठी मीठी करेजवा में पीर होय रे हम तो जानें दीवानी तू काहे को रोये रे
ओ मीठी मीठी करेजवा में पीर होय रे
पिया ने मेरी एक ना मानी
हाए॰ ॰ ॰
पिया ने मेरी एक ना मानी
पकड़ कर पीहर लै गए जानी
मैं ना ना करती रही दीवानी
के मीठी मीठी
ओ मीठी मीठी करेजवा में पीर होय रे हम तो जानें दीवानी तू काहे को रोये रे
ओ मीठी मीठी करेजवा में पीर होय रे
Sudhir Ji,
Many thanks for posting the song of my choice, and of course, your’s as well, as I can make out by your comments. I hope the other one from the film will follow this one.
Many thanks again and regards,
Arvinder.
Many many thanks to Arvinder ji for his persistence and, of course, to you Sudhir ji, for this sweet song.
S. Mohinder’s trade mark rhythm and pulsating beat, combined with Suman Kalyanpur’s voice – What a treat!

Its a Eureka moment for Sharmaji and all of us. I had heard the song earlier and forgotten. I liked the chorus too.
There is another Suman ditty in the film > nahi puchh mujhse zalim
Nitin Shah Ji
Firstly, many thanks for your kind words.
The second song from Bekhabar was also requested by me and Sudhir Ji has promised to post in a day or two.
Thanks again,
Regards,
Arvinder
this song went from lost to being found… what a remarkable rediscovery and sadly overlooked gem of a song.

thanx for sharing.
Short of words to thank Arvinder Sharmaji and Sudhirji for this real memory tickler of radio days.My favorite but had slipped below from my memory horizon.
